Genetic parameters of lamb leather and wool traits in Lacaune dairy sheep

Animal
Lacaune lamb skins are well known for their high quality and are widely used in the leather industry and luxury ready-to-wear fashion. However, in France, the quality of this leather has declined over recent decades, primarily due to two major defects ...

Subclinical hypocalcemia in primiparous lacaune ewes

OBSERVATÓRIO DE LA ECONOMÍA LATINOAMERICANA
Peripartum in sheep is a critical period of high nutritional demand, as the animal's body undergoes several physiological changes due to the high energy expenditure for the development of one or more fetuses and for maintenance, and metabolic disturbances can occur.

Cut‐off value of somatic cell count and validation of differential somatic cell count by the fluoro‐optical method in subclinical mastitis milk in three sheep breeds

International Journal of Dairy Technology, Volume 78, Issue 2, April–June 2025.
For the first time, the DSCC fluor optic method was validated for sheep milk. Optimal cut‐off values of SCC and DSCC were calculated for three dairy sheep breeds. Somatic cell count (SCC) is a test used for mastitis control in ewes, but there is no consensus on the cut‐off value.

Benefit of including female genotypes in the Lacaune dairy sheep reference population

Journal of Dairy Science
: Breeding programs for Lacaune dairy sheep adopted genomic selection in 2015. Genomic predictions for young male candidates are based on a reference population of more than 10,000 artificial insemination rams born since the early 2000s.

Listeriose em rebanho de ovinos leiteiros na região serrana do Rio Grande do Sul: relato de caso Listeriosis in a dairy sheep herd in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil: case report

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2006
Relatam-se dois casos de listeriose ocorridos em ovinos leiteiros da raça Lacaune, mantidos em confinamento e alimentados com silagem de milho. O exame histológico do tecido nervoso mostrou meningoencefalite supurada, e a imunoistoquímica foi positiva ...

Genetic Correlation Between Female Fertility and Milk Yield in Lacaune Sheep [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2008
A total of 416,670 lactations for 189,101 ewes from 3,603 sires and distributed across 1,978 herd-year groups were used to estimate genetic and environmental parameters of standardized milk yield (SMY(T)), fertility in ewe lambs (PR(1)), and fertility in adult ewes (PR(A)).

Markers for meat provenance and authenticity with an account of its defining factors and quality characteristics – a review

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 104, Issue 12, Page 7027-7084, September 2024.
Abstract Provenance is becoming increasingly important in meat supply chains as it lends products higher perceived quality. However, its precise definition and interpretation along with its associated characteristics factors have remained somewhat elusive.

Performance of dairy ewes fed diets with a fibrolytic enzyme product included in the concentrate during the suckling period

Animal, 2008
Seventy-two multiparous ewes from two dairy breeds (Manchega, n = 36 and Lacaune, n = 36) were used in a replicated 2 × 2 factorial design to evaluate the effects of diet supplementation with an exogenous fibrolytic enzyme product on lactation ...

The sustainability of small‐scale sheep and goat farming in a semi‐arid Mediterranean environment

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract Introduction Small‐scale sheep and goat farming is one of the business models the EU depends on to achieve the objectives of the Green Deal. However, these production systems are characterized by structural weaknesses that risk being aggravated by international events, such as the post‐COVID‐19 crisis and reconstruction, the conflict in the ...

A single base pair duplication in the SLC33A1 gene is associated with fetal losses and neonatal lethality in Manech Tête Rousse dairy sheep

Animal Genetics, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 644-657, August 2024.
Abstract We recently discovered that the Manech Tête Rousse (MTR) deficient homozygous haplotype 2 (MTRDHH2) probably carries a recessive lethal mutation in sheep. In this study, we fine‐mapped this region through whole‐genome sequencing of five MTRDHH2 heterozygous carriers and 95 non‐carriers from various ovine breeds.
